Ria Browne of Compass has closed the sale of 8 Polhemus Place in Park Slope for $6,800,000. The home closed in October 2026.
Tucked away on one of Park Slope's most charming historic blocks, the single-family townhouse dates to 1899 and enjoys exposures on three sides. It pairs original architectural detail with thoughtful modern updates.
The parlor level offers gracious living and formal dining rooms with original stained glass, carved mantels and rich millwork. On the garden level, a spacious den opens directly onto the private garden, and a large storage and utility area adds valuable space. The top two floors hold four bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath, along with a generous primary dressing room and an additional office or study. In all, the home has four bedrooms and four and a half baths.
The upper floors were completely renovated with structural reinforcement, new flooring, wider hallways and new plumbing and electrical, while the original decorative details were carefully preserved. Modern comforts include radiant heat in the bathrooms, streamlined radiators, a new split HVAC system on every floor, recessed lighting on the parlor floor and an updated roof.
Polhemus Place has an active block association and a strong sense of community, including summer Open Streets programming.
For Browne, it is a Park Slope close that keeps the character of old Brooklyn while delivering the ease of a fully updated home.
